Extracting name components with PHP substr()
The source string is assigned to $name: "Thomas Alan Waits".
The substr() function extracts portions of the source string.
$firstName receives "Thomas" using position 0 and length 6.
$middleName receives "Alan" using position 7 and length 4.
$lastName receives "Waits" starting at position 12.
Omitting the optional length parameter returns the entire remainder of the string.
